What state song is your favorite? (the songs I listed are from the Wikipedia article and only include the ones that say "state song" or "official song," and note that New Jersey does not have a state song)

My personal favorite is Florida's- Old Folks at Home. Other songs that I like are Rocky Mountain High, Georgia on My Mind, and Home on the Range, though I find MA's state song (All Hail to Massachusetts) to be a little generic.

Probably have never heard 2/3 of them.  Still hard to imagine anything topping a Ray Charles "Georgia on my Mind"

State songs are a stupid concept and most suck. I am very partial for Rocky Top though.

My Old Kentucky Home, of course. Hearing it at the Kentucky Derby is one of the highlights of my year.

I happen to really like "Washington, My Home."  I also like "Old Folks at Home," "My Old Kentucky Home," "Home On the Range," "Georgia On My Mind," "You Are My Sunshine," and "Take Me Home, Country Roads."  I don't know many more than that, though.

And Wisconsin's song is "On, Wisconsin," not "Oh, Wisconsin."

If only "My Old Kentucky Home" wasn't an anti-slavery song.
